I believe that minifree sells products that Richard Stallman would
purchase. Purism is pretty close to something that Stallman would
purchase, but I believe there may be some lingering issues with Intel's
FSP that would prevent Stallman from purchasing a Purism. You can read
a bit more of it here:

However, I would argue that currently, Purism is probably the best
company working on making a modern and freedom respecting computing
device. EOMA68 is another contender.
